Description
SHELL (
Figs 11
,
78–80
;
Tables 3–4
). Depressed conical, with 4.5–5.5 convex whorls; protoconch almost smooth; teleoconch irregularly striated, with indistinct incised spiral lines; with hair-like processes; not tuberculate around umbilicus; brownish-corneous; body whorl slightly angular or rounded; aperture oval; upper insertion of peristome hardly descending; peristome sharp; umbilicus slightly eccentric, narrow, comprising 18–32% of shell diameter, hardly obscured by columellar edge.
GENITALIA (
Figs 43
,
67
;
Table 4
). Atrium short; penis long, gradually tapering towards its proximal end; without penis coecum; surrounded by a membranaceous sheath connected to proximal epiphallus by tissue; penial retractor runs from diaphragm to middle part of cylindrical epiphallus; flagellum moderately long, narrow, broadest in its middle part, without node, gradually tapering towards its proximal end, slightly crenated; vas deferens narrow and long; vagina broad and short; oviduct short, proximally slightly tapering; peduncle of bursa copulatrix subdivided into a broad abruptly tapering distal part and a narrower and longer proximal part, ending in an elongate oval bursa beside albumen gland. Right ommatophoral retractor runs between penis and vagina.
Remarks
The original spelling of the species name was
Helix smimensis
Mousson, 1848
. This was not an inadvertent error, such as a lapsus calami or printer’s error, because this spelling was also used later by
Mousson (1849)
. Thus,
H. smimensis
is the correct original spelling according to ICZN, Article 32. The name was intentionally changed to
H. smironensis
by
Mousson (1850)
and to
H. smiruensis
by
Martens (1867)
. Both names are unjustified emendations, which are available with these authors and dates, and which are junior objective synonyms of
H. smimensis
(ICZN, Art. 33). According to ICZN, Article 33.2.3.1, an unjustified emendation may be deemed to be a justified emendation, if it is in prevailing usage.
Helix smiruensis
was used by
Tryon (1887)
,
Leschke (1914)
and
Rensch (1932)
,
L. smironensis
by
van Benthem Jutting (1950)
and
Vermeulen & Whitten (1998)
, the incorrect subsequent spelling
Landouria
cf.
smiroensis
by
Boonngam
et al.
(2008)
and the correct original spelling
L. smimensis
by
Köhler
et al.
(in press)
. Thus, there is no prevailing usage of any of the emendations and the correct original spelling should be used.
The voucher specimen for
L. tenggerica
of
Rensch (1934)
from Gunung Lawu,
2400 m
a.s.l. (ZMB 76086) is tuberculate around the umbilicus and is a juvenile of a different species.
Distribution
Landouria smimensis
is known from the Tengger Mountains in East Java (Fig. 52). It has also been recorded from other mountains in Central and East Java (
Rensch 1934
), Lombok (
Rensch 1932
), Bali (
Vermeulen & Whitten 1998
) and
Thailand
(
Boonngam
et al.
2008
), but these populations probably represent separate species.
